- Ultimate (Japanese), Mega (English) Extra information - Due to a bond with Ryo that was not mentioned until the end of D-1 Tamers, Millenniumon cannot truly die. He says himself that he is the shadow to Ryo's light, and that one cannot exist without the other. Whether this is true or not, no one is sure, but it does explain why Millenniumon keeps coming back. Born of the jogress of Chimeramon and Mugendramon in the time between the end of Season 1 of the anime and the beginning of Anode Tamer (Dec. 31, 1999), he eventually came to power and was successful in abducting all the Chosen Children of the first season. A normal boy was sent to destroy him, one without a digimon partner or digivice of his own. A boy who turns out to be the only one capable of defeating Millenniumon when even the Holy Beasts could not. He eventually figures it out: this pathetic little boy with nothing to call his own was his human partner all along. For the first few games, all the player knew of Millenniumon was through his rare interactions with Ryo and dialogue from various digimon and Gennai/Piccolomon. Millenniumon appears in person only once in Anode/Cathode: at the last floor of the final dungeon. Much like Zeromus in Final Fantasy IV, Millenniumon here says standard villian threatening dialogue and is defeated. In Tag Tamers he appears immediately after Ryo responds to the sudden appearance of a severely weakened Diablomon in the Digital World, revealing a bit of rather creepy obsession. He used Diablomon to lure Ryo to him and says that he had been waiting for Ryo's return. He then blows up the mountain on which they were standing and this action splits the Digital World in two. Then of course is the final dungeon in Tag Tamers (in which he uses very strange wording that can easily be read as subtext), as well as the final dungeon in D-1 Tamers. It's in Brave Tamer that his personality is truly shown. No longer can he be considered just a mindless killer, he is shown with motives that suggest significant foresight. He is brilliantly intelligent in his plots and speaks in a rather cultured manner, yet doesn't seem to have a good handle on reality. Despite the revelation of his love for Ryo (he refers to Ryo as his beloved near the end of Brave Tamer), he doesn't seem to understand that his games have a damaging impact on the boy and believes that they are doomed to battle each other for eternity. He is capricious when he wants to be, vindictive, obsessive, megalomanic and egocentric. He also displays the true depth of his obsession. Millenniumon has been obsessed with having his revenge from the first time Ryo defeated him, though by the end of Brave Tamer, the idea of whether or not that was truly the case or whether Millenniumon wanted revenge for Ryo's existence stirring emotions he would consider fit only for human weaklings is suddenly in question. His own minions call him on his obsession with Ryo: a SkullSatamon asks him to stop playing with Ryo and please take things more seriously, Lampmon openly questions just what kind of interest Millenniumon has in Ryo. In the end, this obsession with Ryo gets the better of him: it allowed Monodramon to force a Jogress so that they could both be Ryo's partners. The jogress ended up in an egg at the end of the game, and presumably evolves to Cyberdramon. Other published data - (from Koushiki
Daizukan Volume IV, published by V-Jump.

It is considered an aphrodisiac in most countries in Asia, and "tsubame" is a slang term often used in reference to someone's younger lover {complete term is "wakai tsubame".}) |
